To ail whom it may concern Be it known that I, MARsI-IALL WV. Ki-rrrn, citizen of the United States, residing at Kent, in the county or Portage and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Swinging Brackets, of which th following a specification.

This invention relates to swinging brack-- ets, and is particularly adapted and inlended for use for supporting air hose, such as air hose employed in connection with pneumatic tools used for stone cutting, carving and the like, although it is capable of many other uses, such for example as supporting electric or gas conduits when used in connection with a tool such as a sad iron or the like. The bracket is capable of many an alo gous applications or uses.

The accompanying drawing is 2 side elevation oil the bracket.

llet'erring specifically to the drawing, 3 indicates a rod held to a wall or other sup port by supporting devices (3. The upper bracket arm 20 has a collar 7 at one end which turns on the rod 6, and this arm is supported by a brace 21 atthe inner end oi which is another collar 7 which turns on the rod 6.

532 is an rmright brace between the arms. The outer end of the arm 20 is provided with a depending part 11. These parts may be conveniently formed of tubes united by suitable couplings. At its lower end. the tube 11 supports a cross bar or member 9 to one end of which is pivoted, at '13, a vertically swinging arm 14 which has at one end an adjustable counterweight 15. A link 11' is pivoted to the other end of the cross piece 9-), and has a slot 17 in, which a pin 18 works, said pin projecting from the bar 14-. This allows a limited up and down swing of the bar 14.. .At its outer end the bar lat has an eye 14 through which the hose or conduit 10 extends, and this hose or conduit also passes through an eye 9 at the outer end 01 a swinging arm 9 the inner end of which. is bent down to [it into a socket at 8 extending :iuto the upright piece 29., so that the arm 9 has a swinging movement independent of the main bracket, the hose or conduit being thus independently carried.

The supporting bracket thus constructed will carry a hose or conduit in various posi- Specifieation of Letters Patent.

tions suitable to permit manipulation of a tool or the like, such as a pneumatic tool. The constructimi permits 'rertical and horizontal swinging movenwnt to aecomnnnlate the tool to the work. The pipe l1 may be turned in the coupling 11" at the end. ot. the main arm 20, the hose supporting arm 9 being adapted to swing laterally to suit to various niotio-ns incident to the use ot the tool. The work can thus remain in fixed pos tion, and the tool moved around to get at all parts thereof, without lmckling the hose or otherwise interfering with the power supply.

What. i claim as new is:-

l. A bracket comprising a projecting arm. a vertically and horizontally swinging bar connected thereto, and provided with means to support a conduit or the like, and a supplemental horizontally swinging arm pivotally mounted on. said arm and provided with means to support said conduit.

2. A. bracket comprising a horizontally swinging arm, a cross piece connected there to, a vertically swing ging bar pi voted to said cross piece and provided at one end with means to engage a conduit or the like, and a stop connection between said bar and cross piece adapted to limit the swing of the former.

3. A bracket comprising a horizontally swinging member, a vertically swinging member pivoted thereto and provided with a device to engage a conduit or the like, and a supplemental horizontally swinging arm pivotally mounted on the first-mentioned member and provided with a. device to en-- gage said conduit.

it. A bracket comprising a lmrizontally swinging arm, a hanger depending from the outer end thereot, a cross piece at the lower end of said hanger, a \crtically-swingiug bar pivoled to one end ot said bar and provided with a counterweight, and a thxible ermuection between the other end (it said cross piece and the bar, and adapted to limit the swing of the latter.
